Yesterday was one of those days that Kyle woke up from his nap as a bigger, smarter, different baby. This seems to happen about once a month - he takes a nice, long 2+ hour nap and I swear he is growing while he sleeps.
After he woke up yesterday, he seemed taller and his face more mature. And he snuggled with me for the first time in months. He actually laid his head on my chest (willingly), and stayed there while I tickled his back. For a full minute or so. He did this a few times, and then sat
on my lap for a bit while we watched a Baby Einstein video. I was in heaven.
Also - after that magical nap - he learned to turn the pages of his books. Usually when I read to him, he grabs the cover and slams it shut, or picks up the book and throws it. But last night, he turned each page of Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? and seemed genuinely interested while I read the book to him about 10 times.
And that night after I nursed him, he laid in my arms and we were silly with each other and laughed for a good 10 minutes. He would hand me his paci, I would do something silly and he would crack up and take it back. Then he would take it out of his mouth again and hand it back to me so we could play.
It might seem crazy, but every so often he goes to sleep as a little baby and wakes up just a little bit older.
